Lucindy," and she began to cry, where
upon Jabez hurried off.
The next morning Jabez was gone, no
one knew where, and the whole farm
seemed to want him back; though it was
MONDAY, there was no work done and
Mr.. and Mrs. Hemphill sat dejectly in the
"best room"
"Father' said at last, knocking the
ashes out of his pipe:
81 knowed Saturday that sumpin was
up, but l never guessed what, and I'm
blamed if / amt sorry for him to go and
take up with that shiftless Lucindy, when
he might a. had Marthy, only for your
bein' so sot agin' them poor little young
sters and l think Marthy was a-doin' her
duty. I'm blamed sorry"
"Nr. Hemphill, don't swear, and don't
say l broke off the match. l never done
nuthin', only Friday l told Marthy my
opinion about it, and she got mad, and
s'pose said something that maddened
Jabez, for the next day he went off, and
l s'pose he asked Lucindy.
"Oh, what on earth shall do? He is
such a good boy, and to throw himself
away so!'
"Well, if you told her your mind in the
same way you tell it to me don't blame
-huItHy " DlJ lOr Sltulu lltiti
AT this juncture Mrs. Hemphill gave
way to tears, until the noise of wheels on
the gravel outside aroused them both, and
they looked out to see Jabez and Martha
both looking very happy in the buggy
and Martha was not in mourning, and
something glittered on her wedding fin
ger.
"Mother, father, let me introduce to
you Mrs. Martha Hemphill. | hope you
will be pleased to form her acquaint-
ance."
PLEASED amt no word, Jabez," said
his mother, who caught happy little
Martha in her rather long arms, and the
father shook Jabez's hands like pump
handles, while he tried hard to speak
without tears.
After while everything was explained,
and it was merry Christmas dinner
to which they all sat down the next
day. Mrs. Hemphill, ST., said she was
thankful above everything that Martha
had upheld her principle, and she added
soto voce, and saved her from that awful

wiped away her tears, and smoothed the
curly tendrils of her hair; and before she
knew it his strong arm was around her
waist and he had kissed her.
In few minutes she recovered her
calm, but her dignity had flown. She
was only weak woman after all, who
was striving to do her plain duty; and she
tried to free herself from the strong young
arms that held her in so close and SO COM
forting a clasp; for, poor child, her father
was only week deadl
Don't, Jabez," was all she could say
"And why not, MartieP Why shall
not love and comfort my dear little wife
that is to be?'
ooh, deary" said Martha, despairingly
ooh, dearl Oh, Jabez, please don't, for
this is not possible"
"And why not, Martiep Ever since we
were able to talk l have known you and
loved you; AMI all my life l have been
trying to deserve you. You have loved
me, too, haven't you? Well, then, why
isn't it possible, please tell me?"
Haven't you heardP Don't you know?
Jabez, feel as if it is my solemn duty to
take care of these poor little children, and
not let them suffer. Father left nothing
but the farm; but there was always
ellOuSll lOr us I'LL, ultt HltlSt tIy W w
the best can for them. And your-you
I think we had better not see each other
any more, for''-
''There, that's just enough, You are
willing to throw me off for the sake of
those children who have no earthly claim
upon you. You could send them to their
poor old grandfather, but you prefer to
shoulder the burden yourself, and destroy
all your dreams of happiness, and devote
all your life to them, and forget the life
long love I've had for your"
at is my duty, Jabez."
"And you are willing to sacrifice all to
them, and they may turn out ungrateful
or wicked; and you know me, and that l
love you dearly, little Martie, and always
will"
II can't help it, Jabez. can't see it
in the same light feel as if the hand of
the dead lay upon me- and | must obey.
Besides, do it because feel it is right.
Don't make it harder for me than it is,
Jabez."
"Martie, my little wife"
81 would be very happy so, Jabez; but
l know your mother never would con-
sent, and l couldn't bear to cause dis
agreement in your family"
II can manage that, Martie, if you will
agree to be my wife next Monday. We
will go over to Wilkesbarre to get married
there quietly, and return and settle down
at once into new edition of Darby and
Joan. What do you sayY'
Poor little Martha hung her head, and
reflected as well as she could. Mother
and father were both dead, and she had
no one to advise or counsel her; all she
could do was to let him have one swift
glance from her downcast eyes, which was
all the answer he needed.

"AIark," said he, throw all that stuff
away and take double the amount Of the
best, and take poultry and fruit and tea
and coffee and bread and sugar and but
ter yes, and anything else you fancy, and
make them up into separate parcels and
give one good generous basketful to every
poor family you know. Yes, Mark, and
then, if your mother is able to bear it,
take her in a carriage and come down to
my house this evening to dinner and we
will discuss our new sign with Perkins
and Hancock on it. Yes, God bless us!
Oh, no, I'm not crazy I've just come to
my Senses" and he hurried home and as
tonished Mrs. Warner by handsome
crisp note for $50 and ordered dinner
which would have staggered her if she
had not had SO good beginning from her
sisters farm.
Ten years have passed since that time.
Peter Perkins is round, happy man. To
see his jolly, benign face glow at you from
over his counter makes you involuntarily
look round for the other Cheeryble
brother; and now if he was called he
would not go empty handed before his
Lord and Saviour.

Martha had intended to be very digni-
fed and cold, and to show that she did
not need the advice, assistance nor the
love Of any of the Hemphill family, after
the visit that Mrs. Hemphill had made,
and remembering all that she had said;
but in the presence of Jabez all this heroic
resolution passed away like mist before
the sunshine, and instead Of her dignified
reserve she put her two plump little hands
before her face and began to sob and cry.
OF course Jabez was instantly dis
tressed to such an extent that he dropped
the dasher into the churn and sprang to
Marthas side; and there he knelt, and

IL THOUGHT YOU LIKED MARTHY|'
One long embrace, and one shy, sweet
kiss ratified this silent promise.
"Put on that pretty lilac dress, Martie,
Monday morning, and meet me at 8
o'clock just beyond the Swayle brook, and
in one hour we will be one, and say moth
ing to anybody. Oh, yes; one other
thing. Will you trust the children to me
to bring upS Will you give them into my
guardianship completely? Answer yes,
without question"
''Why certainly Since wei
"All right. Now l must really go, for
there's a thousand things to do. You
will be there;" and as she answered yes,
he caught her plump little form to his
heart again, and kissed her again for
goodby; and he leaped the fence at a
bound, and in few minutes was at home
about his ''chores, ~ with light heart, for
he loved Martie truly and well, and he
now saw his way to happiness with the
one girl he loved
Sunday he went away in the morning,
and was gone all day, and only returned
in time for supper.
After The table was cleared, and Mrs.
Hemphill sat down to rest, with a clean
pocket handkerchief folded over her knees,
to save her black silk dress, and her Bible
in her hands, for she always held her
Bible thus every Sunday evening, though
no one could remember ever seeing her
read in it, Jabez arose from his seat and
walked up and down the room in silence.
His mother watched him uneasily.
At last he spoke:
"Mother, l am thinking of getting mar
ried."
1t was out at last
Her fear was well placed, and the shock
was great.
"Mother, how would you like Lucinda
Rosencrants for daughterf'
In all her imaginings she had never let
her fancy run riot to an extent that could
have permitted Lucinda Rosencrants to
enter her head as the possible choice of
her son.
Pretty enough, but coarse and ignorant:
daughter of two idle, dissolute parents;
lazy and slovenly herself, and fond of
dancing and party going, and all the very
things that Mrs. Hemphill abhorred, it is
no wonder that she sat pale and shocked
and speechless.
OF all the girls that she knew, or had
ever heard of, Lucinda was the last one
that she would have chosen, and she could
not bear it.
IL thought you liked Marthy,' she
said, TREMENDOUSLY.
81 do like Martha; but you said so
much
II rather you'd picked her OUT
"She refused me-"
'Refused you! guess you're as good
as she any time. Any gal ought to be
proud to get YOU"
''She did not think So and her refusal
did not hurt me long. What do you
think of Lucindas"
"Oh, Jabez, don't ask. / never can
give in to your marrying into that awful
family. Just think of what set they
are, and Lucinda'll be just the same.
There amt another girl that can hold a
candle to Marthy if it wasn't for them
there children"
"She gave them all away yesterday,
heard, TO guardian"
"Jabez, don't you think you could
change her resolution Ye amt bound tc
Lucindy, be YET"
"You know, mother, never break my
word"
Mrs. Hemphill groaned.

AS commemorating the birth Of the
founder Of the Christian religion, it is a
religious feast. But in the popular ap-
prehension its religious character has
been superseded by its social and char

CHRISTMAS MORNING.

Keen blew the wind across the naked void,
Gmmered the snow fields white.
Aweary with longing, doubt and pain,
watched the silent night.
All, me! Joy comes and goes but grief remains;
My days shall comfort bring;
But bark Upon the frosty winter air
The Christmas chimings ring.
u
And, like a guilty ghost at breath of dawn,
My coward meanings fly;
Echoes again tn adoring song that woke
Beneath Judea's sky.
And sweeter, clearer, louder, chime on chime,
Ring out, o, happy bells!
For every peal with jubilant refrain
The wondrous tidings tells.

The United States has been, without
doubt, the most prolific of all countries in
the world in the issue of postage stamps,
having put forth over 500 different varie-
ties altogether The number of distinct
varieties issued by the various govern
ments throughout the world is variously
estimated, but 5000 would probably cover
the whole Chicago Herald.

The mummers, guisers or guizards &C.
cupied prominent place in all Christmas
observances in the early history of Scot
land, and this form of Christmas amuse-
ment was evidently survival from the
Roman Saturnalia. In 1877 there were
mummers on Christmas Eve in London.
Later masking, or ''mumming,' was for
hidden by royal edict. An old piece of
verse anent the mummers reads:
To shorten winters sadness,
See where the folks with gladness
Disguised are all a-coming.
Right wantonly a-mumming,

Whilst youthful sports are lasting,
To feasting turn ont fasting
With revels and with wassails

And sullen age Is hated,
That mirth would have abated,
